60s revival I heard on the radio this morning that Ben Affleck is rumored to be under consideration for Captain Kirk in J.J. Abrams' Star Wars [sic] movie. Also, Robert Wagner is appearing on Boston Legal next week as the partner in charge of the west coast branch law office of Denny Crane (William Shatner). I'm pretty sure I saw Wagner's name bandied about in fanzines in the 70s as one option for Kirk should there be Star Trek movies without Shatner. Or maybe I'm confused just because I definitely remember pegging Wagner's Switch co-star Eddie Albert as the ideal substitute for DeForest Kelley.

Bio byte I realized I was no longer young when at about forty I discovered that I now actually hold on to the handrails on stairs.
